Silencer wadding

Post by Tramp »

Okay my ccm 644 has a remus silencer with a short.. Well short bit of perforated pipe jp its ass... Does bugger all to quite it.... From the connector pipe its hollow.... Was thinking of packinv with wadding to deaden the awfull sound....

Yes it will restrict it and make it run rich but i want a quite bike....

Suggestions please.... The neighbours hate me

I had a track bike (ZX6R) a while back with a nice fruity Hindle can that needed re-packing. I rebuilt it using this stuff and it worked a treat:

Might be worth a try, Russ.

Ok well just measured the Bmw one 44mm inlet , approx 500mm length , 120 mm round , flat on side that's against bike , you are more than welcome to it if you want to give it a try.

Got a Remus on the KTM. Looked into packing that as all my neighbours know when I leave and come back too. Most are jealousy wishing they could of come with me but one or two, well all the cranky old witches moan worse than Victor Meldrew.

Any way there are a few YouTube clips about repacking the Remus exhaust. Apparently it should be redone every few years anyway.

It looked like it is a real pain in the arse , you need to remove exhaust and drill out all the rivets at the end cap then pull out all old wadding before repacking.

In end I thought sod it let the moaners moan.

44mm is the biggest inlet that I have , let me know if it's any good , I could braze and modify the inlet if you need it. :D
